[Bug 550222] Re: Firefox interface language set to LANG, ignores LANGUAGE

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

I have modified the GDM patch attached to bug 553162, and now that patch
fixes the problem with programs, e.g. Firefox, that don't recognize
$LANGUAGE. Even if the solution provided as an attachment to this bug
works well, the code in the GDM patch is more elegant IMO.

If you want to deal with this issue, without implementing the bug 553162
patches, and assuming that you want menus and messages translated into
German, you can just add this line to the bottom of your ~/.profile
file:

    export LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.utf8"
